woman taser mcdonalds Police shock McDonald's ‘line cutter’, North Carolina sheriff’s deputies say that they were forced to shock a habitual line cutter when she pulled her vehicle into a McDonald's drive-thru ahead of other customers, then refused to move until someone took her order. Police used a Taser on Evangeline Marrero Lucca, 37, and arrested her after she allegedly refused police orders to exit her vehicle

Sheriff's deputies used a stun gun on a woman who was holding up the drive-through line at a North Carolina McDonald's restaurant, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.

Deputies used what is called a "drive stun," not a full stun-gun hit, on Evangeline Marrero Lucca, 37, said Debbie Tanna of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.

Lucca cut to the front of the line at the McDonald's in Fayetteville Friday afternoon and sat there for about 20 minutes before deputies arrived, The Fayetteville Observer reported.

"She did not want to wait in line," Tanna said. "They told her she had to go around and wait like everybody else did and place her order that way, that they weren't set up at that window to take her order or take her money. ... She wasn't having any of that."

Tanna said Lucca refused to move her vehicle and got confrontational with employees.

"When we arrived, she really got mad," Tanna said.

Customer Anthony Rich, who witnessed the incident, said deputies ordered Lucca out of the car but she refused. He said this continued for 20 minutes or so before officers forced Lucca out of her vehicle.

"Two or three officers entered the car with her and started trying to forcibly drag her out of the car and that's when you could hear the clicking sound of the Taser one time," Rich said. "They pulled on her a couple of times and then they Tased her again and when they Tased her the second time she just flopped out of the car like a fish."

Lucca was charged with second-degree trespassing.

Social workers took custody of her 3-year-old child, who was in the car at the time of the incident, Tanna said.

"Our top priority was making sure people weren't hurt because we didn't know if she was going to drive the car off and run over somebody," Tanna said. "Then there was the baby in the car we were concerned about."

A drive stun involves removing the Taser cartridge and touching the weapon directly on the skin to create a "pain compliance effect," the Fayetteville Police Department's "use of force" policy says.

The method allows officers to restrain a suspect without fully incapacitating the person, it says

North Carolina deputies say they used a Taser on a woman in front of her 3-year-old daughter after she cut the McDonalds drive-thru line and refused to move when she was denied service.Employees at the McDonalds in Hope Mills, N.C., refused to serve Evangeline Lucca and told her to go to the back of the line. Lucca, 37, refused to move, and blocked the drive-thru for 20 minutes before police arrived on the scene, authorities said.When deputies arrived, Lucca was “defiant,” “would not get off McDonalds property,” and was “threatening the deputies,” according to Debbie Tanna, a public information officer for the Cumberland County Sherriff’s Office.Customer Anthony Rich, who was in the parking lot during the incident, told the Fay Observer that Lucca was Tasered twice.“Two or three officers entered the car with her and started trying to forcibly drag her out of the car, and that’s when you could hear the clicking sound of the Taser one time,” Rich told the Fay Observer. “They pulled on her a couple of times, and then they Tased her again, and when they Tased her the second time, she just flopped out of the car like a fish.”Tanna told ABC News that Lucca was “drive Tased in her side,” which means deputies did not deploy the prongs from the Taser, they just gave Lucca an electric shock.Lucca’s daughter, who was in the car, was taken into protective custody.Lucca was charged with second-degree trespassing, authorities said. Tanna said the woman was in custody, and would remain there until she pays her bond.

Police used a Stun Gun on a woman who had been blocking a McDonald’s drive-thru for more than 20 minutes.

Evangeline Lucca, 37, had cut the line and refused to leave before she was served.

Employees, meanwhile, refused to attend to Lucca because she cut the queue.Authorities in Hope Mills, North Carolina, say Lucca bypassed the order screen and the line at the fast food restaurant, instead pulling directly up to the pick-up window Friday afternoon.Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Debbie Tanna told the Fay Observer: ‘They told her she had to go around and wait like everybody else did and place her order that way, they weren’t set up at the that window to taker her order.’

Evangeline Lucca drove past the order window and demanded to be served at the food pickup window location where employees refused to serve her until she took the proper steps for ordering.

Police officers were soon called onto the scene and the crazy Big Mac lover was introduced to an Officer’s taser when she refused to cooperate. Lucca was then arrested and charged with second-degree trespassing.

That’s not even the worst part of the story, Lucca apparently attempts to cut in front of other drives all the time and this go-around she had her 3-year-old daughter in the vehicle with her. The crazy woman’s daughter was thankfully taken into social worker custody.

Speaking of the strange incident a Sheriff’s spokeswoman revealed:

“She did not want to wait in line. They told her she had to go around and wait like everybody else did and place her order that way, that they weren’t set up at that window to take her order or take her money. She wasn’t having any of that. When we arrived, she really got mad.”Perhaps when we joke around about McDonald’s and its “crack fries” we are really onto something because there are a lot of people who go crazy over the company’s food, throwing fits over McNugget supply, hot coffee and other random issues.
